"Cannery Row"

by John Steinbeck

This is one of my top-ten, all-time favourite books. It is not as well known as some of Steinbeck's other novels, but it is a finely crafted miniature which is real study in structure and character.
Going to http://nale.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ and then clicking on the first item in the table of contents will take you to a photo essay that I have created using my own photos and containing large chunks of text from the novel. It will give you a "taster".
